Publisher Description
One who is twice woven, cannot remain your own. Two the ether bound, who shines the torch in darkness. Three the blessed harbinger who reaps the reaper’s heart.
Nearly a century has passed since Hades and Persephone’s children were foretold, but their efforts to conceive have been in vain. A secret rite on Samothrace conducted by the gifted hymnist, Orpheus, might finally bend the will of the Fates and give the King and Queen of the Underworld everything they have ever dreamed of, or pave a path of unimaginable suffering.
Hades and Persephone’s sway over the mortals has only grown, drawing the covetous attention of the Olympian gods. When a hastily made oath, a silver lyre, and the returning restless dead put the gods below at odds with Olympus, it could shatter the peace that has existed between the realms since the Titanomachy.
The Good Counselor continues the erotic Underworld romance that began with Rachel Alexander’s highly-acclaimed novel, Receiver of Many.
Customer Reviews
In love with this series
This is such an amazing series. The detail and the talent that went into this story was incredible and made me feel like I was right there in their world with them. It was creative and emotional. So much research and planning went into it to make it historically accurate for that time period and I appreciate it so much! I love the creative liberties the author took in terms of changing things around but not in a way that felt forced. And the development of the character and their personalities was well done. I love that this wasn’t just another thoughtless Hades/Persephone love story. It took on a lot of different perspectives and explained why things and characters were the way they are. I binged read all 3 books in a matter of days. And I usually can’t say this, but the price point on these books was a steal.
The end of the book says there will be a fourth one and I am desperately waiting for even a crumb of news on on that. In the meantime, I’ll re-read them.
The Birth of a New Era
Persephone & Hades continue their journey & through it all, the book remains true to these characters & what they decide in this journey. It’s realistic, but so well written you just stay on the tide & hope your legs & arms are secure.
Loved it!
Very much worth the wait! The story ensnares you from the first chapter, I couldn’t put it down! I’ve read, and reread the first two books at least 4 times, and I’m obsessed to say the least
